Interface Overview
Understanding the Relik.ai user interface and navigation
The Relik.ai interface is designed to provide a dynamic, flowing experience that guides your exploration and discovery. Unlike traditional AI chatbots with static interfaces, our design reflects our philosophy of continuous cognitive evolution.
Main Interface Components
Exploration Canvas
The central area of the Relik.ai interface is your Exploration Canvas—a dynamic space where concepts, connections, and insights unfold:
Concept Nodes
Interactive elements representing key ideas, perspectives, or questions. Click on any node to explore it further.
Connection Pathways
Visualized relationships between concepts that reveal how ideas connect and influence each other.
Insight Cards
Highlighted revelations that emerge from your exploration, often appearing at the intersection of multiple concepts.
Exploration Trail
A subtle visual history of your journey, helping you track how your exploration has evolved.
Navigation and Controls
Interaction Patterns
Relik.ai uses several consistent interaction patterns to create an intuitive experience:
Direct Engagement
Click
Click on any element to explore it further or to reveal additional context.
Hover
Hover over elements to preview connections and related concepts.
Drag
Reposition elements on your canvas to create your own conceptual arrangements.
React
Express your interest in concepts through reaction controls (interest, curiosity, importance, etc.).
Flow Navigation
Unlike traditional interfaces that require explicit commands, Relik.ai responds to your natural exploration patterns:
- The interface evolves based on where you focus your attention
- Elements you engage with expand and develop further
- New pathways open up based on your demonstrated interests
- The system maintains forward momentum while allowing you to navigate freely
There’s no “correct” way to use Relik.ai. The system adapts to your exploration style, whether you prefer methodical investigation or intuitive leaps.
Accessibility Features
Relik.ai is designed to be accessible to all users:
- Full keyboard navigation for all interface elements
- Screen reader compatibility with semantic descriptions
- Adjustable text sizes and contrast settings
- Multiple interaction methods to accommodate different abilities
- Keyboard shortcuts for common actions
Access accessibility settings by clicking on your profile icon and selecting “Accessibility” from the dropdown menu.
Visual Language
Our interface uses consistent visual cues to help you understand the system:
- Color Coding: Different colors indicate different types of concepts or insights
- Size Variation: Larger elements represent more significant or central concepts
- Motion: Subtle animations show relationships and transformations between ideas
- Brightness: More prominent elements are those the system believes will be most valuable to you
Learning this visual language happens naturally as you use Relik.ai, but understanding these principles can help you navigate more intentionally.
